**Enid's POV:**

The news of my pregnancy filled our home with an atmosphere of quiet joy and anticipation. As the days unfolded, I found myself immersed in a whirlwind of emotions—gratitude, excitement, and a touch of lingering disbelief. Each morning brought a renewed sense of wonder as I woke to the gentle kicks and flutters that reminded me of the life growing inside me.

One particular morning, a few weeks after we received the news, I awoke with a surge of determination. I glanced at the calendar on our bedside table, counting down the days until Wednesday's birthday—a day I had decided would be perfect for a special surprise.

The idea had been brewing in my mind ever since we discovered I was pregnant. I wanted to announce the news to Wednesday in a way that would capture the essence of our journey as a family. With Ethan and Ellie turning one year old soon, it seemed fitting to involve them in this special moment.

I quietly slipped out of bed, careful not to disturb Wednesday who was still peacefully asleep. The early morning light filtered through the curtains as I made my way downstairs to the kitchen, my mind buzzing with plans.

In the weeks leading up to today, I had commissioned a local artist to create custom t-shirts for each member of our family. The design was simple yet meaningful—a small trio of hearts, each one growing progressively larger. One for Ethan, another for Ellie, and the third, the largest heart, symbolizing the newest addition to our family.

I carefully laid out the t-shirts on the kitchen table, admiring the craftsmanship and the love that had gone into their creation. The fabric felt soft against my fingertips, a tangible representation of the bond that connected us all.

As the morning unfolded, I busied myself with preparations. I baked Wednesday's favorite cinnamon rolls, their warm, sweet aroma filling the kitchen and mingling with the sounds of Ethan and Ellie's laughter as they played in the living room.

When Wednesday finally emerged from our bedroom, her hair tousled from sleep and a soft smile on her lips, my heart skipped a beat. She greeted me with a gentle kiss, her arms wrapping around my waist as she breathed in the scent of freshly brewed coffee.

"Good morning," she murmured, her voice laced with warmth and affection.

"Good morning, love," I replied, returning her embrace with a sense of anticipation bubbling within me. "Happy birthday."

Her eyes sparkled with surprise and delight as I handed her a small gift-wrapped box. Inside was a delicate necklace—a silver charm in the shape of a heart, a symbol of our enduring love and the journey we had shared together.

"Oh, Enid," she whispered, her fingers tracing the smooth surface of the charm. "It's beautiful. Thank you."

"You're welcome," I replied softly, savoring the moment before guiding her towards the kitchen table where the t-shirts lay waiting.

"What's all this?" Wednesday asked, her curiosity piqued as she noticed the array of colorful fabrics spread out before her.

"It's a surprise," I replied with a mischievous grin, gesturing for her to read the words printed on each shirt.

She picked up Ethan's shirt first, her smile widening as she deciphered the message: "Big Brother."

"And Ellie's?" Wednesday asked eagerly, turning to the next shirt which read: "Big Sister."

Finally, her gaze settled on the largest shirt, the one I had specially made for myself. "Mommy," it proclaimed proudly, the word adorned with a small heart nestled above the letter 'y'.
